From the reviews:"The present works include 4 thematic areas that are developed along 23 chapters which focus, among others, basic aspects of the oxidative stress, the cold tolerance, the salinity and the analysis of transcriptomes related to these stress. ... this work constitutes a valuable contribution to the researchers involved in the study of abiotic stress that affect the crops."
